Old Town

Old Town information

Vieil Albi (Old Albi) is an attractive muddle of winding streets and half-timbered houses, one of which, the Maison du Vieil Alby , houses a small exhibition on the city's history and its connections with Toulouse-Lautrec.

Also worth a look is the Collegiale Saint-Salvi , a delicate canons' church with a lovely cloister, and the Pont-Vieux , the 19th-century arched bridge across the River Tarn, which provides a fine perspective over Albi's pink-bricked old town and cathedral.
